Lord Steffon is the son of Ormnd Baratheon and Rhaelle Targaryen, born in 246 AC.

Lord Steffon married Cassana Estermont, together they had three children, Robert I Baratheon, Stannis Baratheon, and Renly Baratheon.

Lord Steffon died in a shipwreck in Shipbreaker Bay in 278 AC, he was 32 years of age.

Early Life: In his youth, Steffon served as a page in King's Landing, where he became good friends with Prince Aerys Targaryen and Tywin Lannister.

Steffon participated as a squire in the War of the Ninepenny Kings in 260 AC. He became Lord of Storm's End and Lord Paramount of the Stormlands once his father, Lord Ormund Baratheon, was struck down by Maelys I Blackfyre during the war, with Ormund dying in his son's arms.

Lord Of Storm's End: Steffon once hosted a tourney at Storm's End, but he was defeated in the tilts by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. In the wake of the Defiance of Duskendale, Steffon's old friend and cousin, now King Aerys II Targaryen, summoned Steffon to court and named him to the small council. In 278 AC Aerys sent Steffon to Volantis to find a bride "of noble birth from an old Valyrian bloodline" for Prince Rhaegar, and it was rumored that Aerys intended to replace Tywin as Hand of the King with Steffon upon the latter's return. Steffon failed to find a suitable bride for Rhaegar, but he did send a message to Storm's End saying that he had found a very good fool. According to him, the fool was so funny he would teach Steffon's second son, Stannis, how to laugh. On the return voyage Steffon's ship, the Wind Proud, was caught in a storm while in Shipbreaker Bay and sank within sight of Storm's End, killing Steffon along with his wife, Lady Cassana Estermont, and one hundred men. The only survivor was the fool, Patchface, who had lost his wits. According to Grand Maester Pycelle, Aerys was enraged by Steffon's death and believed it had been arranged by Tywin for fear of being replaced as Hand. Steffon was succeeded as Lord of Storm's End by his eldest son, Robert.
